Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q2 i? Individual differences were not associated with the benefit of relearning over restudying in the retention tests. → Philip A. Higham 2020

The abstract reports the exploratory moderation analysis (Exploratory Research Question 2) of whether Week-1 individual difference measures moderated the relearning advantage: "Individual differences were not associated with the benefit of relearning over restudying in the retention tests."
"Individual differences were not associated with the benefit of relearning over restudying in the retention tests."
